.Wait where the heck did you get ALAC's itunes doesnt offer much just cuz its 256kbps
A number of smaller, more independent artists use Bandcamp.com to sell their music. Band Camp lets you pay one price for the album and the choose the format, including FLAC and ALAC.

About the only reason I buy from Amazon on occasion is because they have some
good discounts that are hard to pass up, if I don't own the album. For instance I bought
Satriani's Black Swans & Wormhole Wizards & Return to Forever's Romantic Warrior
for $5 each & for listening to music in a car & on an iPod, it seems to be good enough.
Though I do feel compelled to go buy the CDs at some point so I can have precious
ALAC.
Yeah, and that I can definitely understand. I just wish everyone would offer lossless audio instead of these lower-end recordings. Especially when they're going to hand me a 192 CBR and tell me it's 320 CBR.
Heck, one of the reasons I love Radiohead is because at this point they release all their music digitally and you can get WAV files for all their new albums.
